  • Description: <jats:p> 4522 </jats:p><jats:p> Background: Neoadjuvant cisplatin-based chemo followed by radical cystectomy (RC) is a standard of care treatment for pts with MIBC. DDR gene mts, including within ERCC2, a DNA helicase implicated in cisplatin sensitivity in MIBC, have been associated with higher pathologic (path) downstaging ( &lt; pT2) and complete response (pT0) at RC and improved overall survival (OS) in retrospective series. S1314 randomized pts to one of 2 chemo regimens (dose dense MVAC or Gem/Cis) followed by RC. We sought to correlate ERCC2 and other DDR gene mts with response and survival in MIBC pts enrolled onto this prospective trial. Methods: Tumor and matched germline DNA from evaluable pts enrolled onto S1314 underwent exon capture sequencing of 505 cancer-associated genes (MSK-IMPACT). Both deleterious (del) mts and any mts in 9 DDR genes (ERCC2, ERCC5, BRCA1, BRCA2, RECQL4, ATM, ATR, RAD51C, FANCC) were correlated with clinical outcomes. The prespecified analyses included the association of mts with &lt; pT2 and pT0 by logistic regression analysis and with progression-free survival (PFS) and OS by Cox proportional hazards regression. Results: 179 patients (median 61 years, 85% male, 87% white, and 87% clinical stage T2) who received &gt;2 cycles of chemo and were evaluable for path response were included in the analysis. The pT0 rate was 28% and &lt; pT2 was 41%. Del mts in ERCC2 were detected in 26 (14%) pts followed by ATM (n = 12, 7%), ATR (n = 3) and BRCA2 (n = 2). ERCC2 mts were associated with statistically significantly higher path responses with a 54% pT0 rate and 62% downstaging rate. Patients with any del mts had higher path response rates (51% pT0, 56% &lt; pT2) and better PFS (Table) with a median follow-up of 53 months. There was a non-significant trend towards improved OS. Conclusions: In pts managed with neoadjuvant chemo and RC on S1314, both ERCC2 mts and del DDR gene mts correlated with pathologic response. Any del DDR gene mt was associated with improved PFS. These results are in line with retrospective analyses displaying a correlation between DDR gene mts and neoadjuvant chemosensitivity in MIBC and support ongoing genomically-informed organ sparing trials.[Table: see text] </jats:p>
